Rapid7 shaking hands with Indusface

INDIA: As more enterprises and small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) experience relentless security attacks on a variety of corporate assets that hold business-critical data, they require an advanced vulnerability management solution that will enable them to stay ahead of threats, says Rapid7, a provider of unified vulnerability management solutions.

It has announced its partnership with Indusface Consulting, an India-based IT security solutions and services organization that will now serve as a value-added distributor (VAD) for Rapid7 NeXpose.

In addition, Indusface will launch a managed security service using Rapid7 technology and expertise to bring advanced vulnerability management to the Indian market, where sophisticated attacks plague Web applications, networks, databases and operating systems.

“Rapid7 NeXpose, with its ability to scan the broadest level of assets available, while at the same time prioritizing vulnerabilities and devising clear remediation plans, gives Indusface customers the visibility into their IT infrastructure that is necessary to mitigate risk and minimize data loss. By leveraging Rapid7 NeXpose, Indusface completes its vision of offering end-to-end security solutions and extends Rapid7's expansive reach into the global security market.” The company states.

“In addition to offering Rapid7's comprehensive solution, Indusface's new managed security service, built on Rapid7 NeXpose and harnessing the Company's vulnerability management expertise, will enable organizations of all sizes with limited IT budgets to experience the same level of protection as large companies. With the new service, customers can run scans from a secure, hosted environment using a simple Web browser, reducing the need for hardware or software installation. From there, security consultants can offer analysis and guidance based on the found vulnerabilities and suggest mitigation steps.” Adds the press note.
